State Federations are a joke?

Women and Men's football treated equally by your State Federation?

As the numbers of girls and women playing the game is booming across Australia, and the State Federations run both the men and women's games....

I thought it would be interesting to see the response to the 2006 Men's and 2007 Women's FIFA World Cups.

Attendance: Germany 2006.

Every State Federation CEO plus entourage, went to Germany. No surprise there.

Attendance: China 2007

At last count one person, yes one person, from the State Federations will be going....oh and she's a women Capital Football CEO Heather Reid.

Reid will also be undertaking some ground work to try and interest Chinese sides to come and play in the Kanga Cup. What an opportunity.

For the rest of the Federations, how can you expect to grow the women's game if you don't go and watch the major tournament in the World.

Hang your head in shame.

A chance to network in Asia, a chance to network with the major women players, media, and businesses. A chance to think about how to represent a growing increase in your membership.

Tell me I'm wrong and you've all changed your mind and are heading off to China as we speak.
